The system was constantly monitoring its users and would administer different testing scenarios that were appropriate to their level. Over the last year, The Watcher had been slowly modifying the systems to allow for it to accommodate the abilities of Angels and upgrade its physic engine to more closely resemble that of the real world.
Due to the system's accelerated development, Null had the body and mind of a 3-year-old. The system was designed to create super soldiers, so its training methods were harsh, to say the least. It would reward positive behaviour with pleasure-inducing chemicals and punish negative behaviours with pain-inducing ones. This resulted in a more controllable and focussed 3-year-old.
The current testing scenario was designed to be particularly gruelling. It may have only been a virtual simulation, but to Null who had no concept or understanding of virtual reality, it was all real. Null was currently alone with no weapons on an enemy occupied space station.
The scenario was used to test which of the three danger response characteristics the user had, fight, flight, or freeze. For Null, it seems he has chosen to fight. He was currently running towards 5 armed intruders unlike most humans Null had a secret weapon that assisted in keeping him one step ahead. Energy life forms don't see the world the same way humans do, they see everything in the form of energy so physical barriers don't affect their ability to see the world around them.
Null had full access to this vision which allowed for him to see all the intruders and let the AI analyse the most optional route. Null was currently following one of these routes trying to get to one of the intruders unseen.
The route was perfect but his 3-year-old body was not up to the task, he was spotted and kicked by one of the soldiers. The pain from the kick snapped him back to his senses and he decided it was time to escape.
With his special vision, he was able to see the green light of the exit. Previous experiences had taught Null that moving to the green area would be rewarded with pleasure, so he was keen to get there.
Every time Null tried to follow one of the open paths it was getting blocked by soldiers. Null was trying to avoid getting hurt again. After one particularly close call where Null was nearly shot, He was at his wit's end and was becoming extremely frustrated at the situation.
He just wanted to get to the green! This frustration was shared with his energy companion via the shared soul and caused a resonant reaction. Null couldn't see it but his energy side had formed into a halo above his head. The two minds worked as one with a desire to escape to the green zone and without thought they teleported.
The Watcher was monitoring the scenario was astonished at what it had witnessed. "Did they just manipulate the space field? No, they couldn't have they don't have the materials and this is virtual reality. Then what did they do?". Upon further inspection, it turned out that the two minds of Null had been observing the virtual reality so intensively that they had managed to radiate energy in such a way they could hack the system.
The Watcher was very concerned, he wonder if they could do that outside of virtual reality. How realistic was their environment? Teleporting wasn't a significant event and The Watcher could do the same thing, except it require advanced knowledge and expensive materials. There were always rumours that it should be possible to do it without technology but no race had ever achieved it.
Reaching the green zone signalled the end of their scenario, they could now move onto the intermediate course. Moving to the intermediate course also allowed for one person from the outside to enter into the VR environment and interact with the user. This would normally allow for the military to start its brainwashing.
In this case, The Watcher was using this opportunity to introduce themselves to Null. "Hello Null, don't be afraid, my name is The Watcher and I'm here to help".
